I loved him as “The Saint” but he was a terrible James Bond. He will be missed.

I will re-watch some Bond films, but not his. He made Bond a joke. Don't know if it was him or poor writing.

RIP. Neither shaken nor stirred anymore.

It wasn’t Moore that made those Bond movies bad, it was the campy writing and filming.

The Bond movies were campy from the beginning.

Roger Moore was a perfectly fine James Bond, to my mind. The different Bond actors brought different styles and life to the role.

Roger Moore's Bond movies were more light, and more comedy-oriented, with henchmen like "Jaws" and such.

Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Octopussy, For Your Eyes Only, The Spy Who Loved Me—what's not to like?

I grew up with Roger Moore as James Bond. Sean Connery was a little before my time. Moore's Bond films were highly successful and entertaining, and didn't take themselves too seriously. The fact that they were different stylistically from Connery's doesn't bother me a bit...

Definitely the writing. His early Bond movies were great. But then they fell into a silly formula that they all followed to a T. They started to come around in his last ones, but still weren't as good as his first two.
